Passenger car tires should be replaced under the following circumstances: 1. When the tread wear approaches the wear indicator; 2. When the tire shows damage such as cracks or bulges; 3. When the tire reaches its expiration age. Tires are categorized by their use into: 1. Passenger tires; 2. Summer tires; 3. Summer high-performance tires; 4. Winter tires; 5. Heavy-duty and light truck tires. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground contact and rolling. Their functions include: 1. Working with the road surface and vehicle suspension to absorb shocks during driving; 2. Ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving; 3. Maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 4. Enhancing the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability; 5. Supporting the weight of the vehicle.

What does the expiration date of motor vehicle inspection mean?

The expiration date of motor vehicle inspection refers to the validity period of the vehicle's annual inspection. If a motor vehicle's annual inspection is overdue, it means the inspection was not conducted by the due date, and the previous year's inspection validity has expired. Failure to conduct the inspection on time indicates that the vehicle has not undergone the required annual or biennial qualified inspection. For example, if the validity period is until October 2019, it means the motor vehicle inspection is valid until the end of October 2019, and the inspection should be completed on schedule. Vehicles without a valid inspection are not allowed to drive on public roads, and driving without inspection may result in penalties. The owner of the motor vehicle can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle registration office up to three months before the expiration of the inspection validity period. Before applying, the owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. When applying, the owner must fill out an application form and submit the vehicle's registration certificate, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption certificate, and motor vehicle safety technical inspection compliance certificate.

Why Can't a Diesel Vehicle Accelerate or Pick Up Speed?

Diesel vehicle unable to accelerate or pick up speed may be caused by: clogged filters, blocked fuel injectors, high-pressure fuel pump pressure loss, or clogged air filters. Regardless of the cause, professional tools are required for repairs, so it is recommended that owners take their vehicle to a professional auto repair shop or 4S dealership for inspection and repair, rather than attempting to fix it themselves. Below are detailed explanations: Clogged Filters: If the diesel filter is too dirty or clogged, insufficient fuel supply can cause the vehicle to be unable to accelerate or pick up speed, necessitating replacement of the diesel filter. Blocked Fuel Injectors: Blocked fuel injectors lead to insufficient fuel intake, preventing the vehicle from accelerating or picking up speed. Cleaning or replacing the fuel injectors is required. High-Pressure Fuel Pump Pressure Loss: Pressure loss in the high-pressure fuel pump results in low fuel pressure, making it impossible to accelerate or pick up speed. Repair and calibration of the high-pressure fuel pump are necessary. Clogged Air Filters: If the air filter is too dirty or clogged, insufficient air intake leads to poor combustion, preventing the vehicle from accelerating or picking up speed. Replacement of the air filter is required.

Does idling with the AC on after starting the car have any impact?

Idling with the AC on after starting the car does have an impact. Running the AC while idling not only harms the vehicle, consumes more fuel, hurts your wallet, and affects your health, but also contributes to increased air pollution. Keeping the AC on for an entire day can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. If you leave the AC on while parked, the engine operates only at idle speed, leading to incomplete combustion of gasoline. This incomplete combustion produces toxic substances such as carbon monoxide. If the car windows and doors remain tightly closed for an extended period under these conditions, exhaust fumes can enter the enclosed cabin. Once these fumes accumulate to a certain level, they can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Precautions for using the car AC: After the car has been exposed to the sun, first turn on the external circulation to ventilate and dissipate heat. You can also open the windows and sunroof to speed up the cooling process. After 3-5 minutes, when the interior temperature has stabilized, close the windows, turn on the cooling system, and switch the AC to internal circulation. In cold weather, wait a moment after getting in the car until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. Then, turning on the heater with internal circulation can quickly raise the temperature.

What does an engine displacement of 1598ml mean?

An engine displacement of 1598ml refers to an engine displacement of 1.598L. Displacement is a relatively important structural parameter that comprehensively measures the size of an engine. The performance indicators of an engine are closely related to its displacement. Generally, the larger the displacement of a car, the higher its power output. Unit displacement is commonly used as a basis for evaluating the size of different engines. Introduction to engine displacement: Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters. It represents the size of an engine more accurately than cylinder bore and number of cylinders. Many performance indicators of an engine are closely related to its displacement. Generally, a larger displacement means the engine releases more energy per unit time, indicating better power performance. Engine maintenance methods: Regular oil changes: The engine oil must match the vehicle model. Regular coolant replacement: Coolant plays a role in cooling the engine. Clean the fuel system: The fuel system generates impurities and requires moderate cleaning. Replace the oil filter: It acts as a filter. When there are impurities in the oil, this filter can effectively remove them, preventing particles from entering the engine. Clean it when dirty and replace it if damaged, which helps extend the engine's lifespan. Develop good driving habits.
